On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Cynthia Holmes of Iowa, USA, was presented with a Casino Riches scratch-off ticket of $10 by Don, her husband. She was initially unimpressed by her husband’s choice of a Valentine’s Day gift. The $10 card then turned out to be a ticket of $100,000.

54-year-old Ms Holmes expressed: “My husband gave me a gift of a scratch off, and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s really expensive. I scratch it off. I won $100,000! “Woo hoo!’ And I’m like – my hands started shaking and like butterflies in my stomach. It is still sinking in.” Mr Holmes said: “I knew she was a winner. I thought it would just be $100, but it turned out to be $100,000.”

The lucky woman who works at Walmart won the second highest prize in Iowa Lottery’s Casino Riches game. But she did not believe that she had won until she went to the lottery headquarters a day after Valentine’s Day, on Thursday. Cynthia is now planning to use the money to pay off her car and house.
